Last week, Filipino Ryan Rey Ponteras stunned Thailand’s favored Rosalee Samor to win the IBF Pan Pacific flyweight title. IMO, it was a national embarrassment for Rosalee Samor.

I agree, fights here are either mismatches or biased when it comes to scoring in favor for Thai fighters. Ryan Rey out boxed & knocked out Rosalee Samor last week. It was indeed a mismatch in skill. Rosalee S. looked like a stiff flat footed amateur compared to the Filipino Boxer.

I guess this is what happens when cheating is part of life. Humiliation will occur when put to the real test. This goes for all aspects of life

I bet, if the fight was held in Thailand, their boxer won. I'm sure of that especailly if the referee are Thais. I watched I lot of fights in that country and thai referee's are biased obviously. This applies to football, boxing, Muay Thai, Basketball, sepaktakraw and other sports. Figthers from other places has no chance to win in Thailand not because they are weak but because of referee's bias actions.

Here we go again, another Thai loser criticizing the referee and not being a sportsman in defeat. It is always someone else's fault, right? wrong. Accept the fact you lost, be a sportsman and try harder the next time. You lost the fight, you have no excuses or right to blame anyone else for your performance
